Turkish Shepherd Starts Protection Training

[@owendurkin6292]

I can’t consider this protection training nor do I think Kangals should be trained to protect. Their guarding instincts are 5000 years old. This was playtime for this big guy. Look how he breaks his focus on the‘assailant’ whose scent he clearly recognizes. If he thought the threat was viable, he would not break off . The handler had to coerce him to stay focused on the task because the dog knew from all kinds of cues including the handlers body language that there was no threat.

[@KikumaruXFuji]

I agree. When my Anatolian is on guard, he never keep his eyes off of the threat.

[@marcelljohnson5765]

These dogs don’t need protection that’s what they were bread to do

[@yeetyahh950]

they still need to know how to take orders which is the point of this training. So that they dont attack when they feel like it only when told to do so. Youre a smart one i see.

[@lenovotablet2417]

Totally agree. I have a Mastin Español mix who I have extremely socialized. He's always off leash and because of it, and his socialization in general, he's very confident and balanced. He's great with people (especially kids) and animals. Still, he is always on guard as it's in his nature. He will act appropriately if he notices something suspicious. Meaning he'll warn if that suffices but if need be he'd take more severe measures but only in case of actual danger. Again, proportionally. He's prevented theft, break-ins and protected me, and other dogs simply by warning, all without any protection training or whatsoever. Imo this kind of "protection work" is completely unnecessary, actually counter-productive, and potentially very dangerous. There's a reason schutzhund training starts with obedience and only if the dog passes the obedience tests it can start protection work. That's simply something LSG's aren't bred for as they're much more independent.

I am Turkish and my grandpa had several Kamgals. This Kamgal is not in protection mode at all. He recognized the smell. And he saw the scenario as a game and he played. And he lost focus sometimes because his protection instimcts were searching for other threats ))) If a Kangal see a human as a threat he never loose focus untill he take hiö down seriously.

[@larryh7760]

@@williamdavis9562 some dogs will surprise you. Years ago I had a lab/Shepherd mix that looked and generally acted pure lab. She was just happy and loved retrieving. One day I was walking her and some rather scary looking guy behind me laughed at her and said "that isn't much of a guard dog." He kept coming closer. He was literally only a few feet behind us. She bristled up, bared her teeth and turned towards him growling loudly. That was the first aggressive thing she had ever done in the year I had owned her. The fear in his eyes was priceless. He quietly took off in another direction. But she only acted aggressive if she thought something was a problem. Otherwise she was a sweetheart to everyone. Your dog may be like that. When it senses what it thinks is a real threat to it's family you may see a different dog.

[@williamdavis9562]

@@robfoster8228 I'm not sure if my dog's genetic predisposition to being terrified of everything will vanish with "running or teaching." I'm also curious as to why you'd assume I would punish my dog for being terrified. I didn't get her to be a guard dog so I'm completely fine with it. I figured me laughing about it would be a dead giveaway that it isn't really a problem. Do you do this often? Take things out of context and moralize to people about nonsense?

@@larryh7760 Two weeks ago I actually got rushed by loose dogs and my girl ran away 🤣🤣. It's simply her nature and since I didn't buy her to be a guard dog it really isn't something I need to harp on with her. She's a companion dog first and foremost and a very good one at that. I just find it funny how terrified this girl is of everything. If I buy a new car, it takes a week to get her comfortable enough with it just to get in. hehe Just like humans some dogs just have odd personality traits. Overall though she is a fantastic dog and I'm basically with her 24 hours a day and take her everywhere with me. Very well behaved dog especially in public.

Notice his tail wagging? He’s not worried about that guy at all, nor does he think he’s a threat, he’s playing. When Kangals sense a threat their tails go straight back and don’t wag at all. If he thought he was a threat he would have ripped that leash out of that guys hand and shredded that guy. I have two Kangals for livestock protection dogs, I had one on a leash once and he heard a coyote and took off and I had not the slightest chance of holding him back. He killed the coyote and came back covered in the coyotes blood…

I hate to be the mom in the comments but this is a bad idea. This dog isn't meant for this type of thing, and you two are doing it wrong. Don't train them for this sort of thing, get a Malinois, Dutch or German Shepherd. These majestic beasts are not meant for "protection" work. With that being said, that's a nice-looking pup, you should get him doing work that will enrich his life. Don't do things to agitate him like that. They are super smart dogs and are prone to make their own decision. All this is going to do is make him more likely to maul someone in some Adidas trainers. Also if he was looking to harm that guy, he would have. He was just doing what he does best and barking at the dude for being suspect. Those tight pants are a dead giveaway. LOL

[@williamdavis9562]

@John Wachowski, excellent post. I was thinking the same thing while watching this video. This type of training could easily end in disaster later. Again like you said for this type of work they should get a German Shepherd or a Belgian Mal. What happens when the dog starts thinking it's okay to maul a perceived threat, unlike a German Shepherd or Belgian a Kangal isn't going to wait for a command.

Kangal is not a personal protection dog but it has evolved as Sheep Dog. It looks not much interested in the attacker but instinctly looking around in a typical Kangal fashion as these dogs have to consistently look around for predators. Secondly Kangal is not a dog that will blindly follow your order like GS or malinois as these dogs are independent thinkers. These dogs analyze the dangers and make decisions on their own. So every dog breed has a specific mentality and to train every dog in a single fashion may not be a good idea.

Beautiful dog, but not one I'd ever use for personal protection, they are great as a livestock guardian fending off wild predators but not humans. This testing is completely wrong, before you start any form of k9 sercurity, protection, police or military training the dog has to undergo a temperament test, I'd be very interested in seeing how he does, I'm not saying he isn't capable of the training but having someone come up to your dog in that manner he will react in some way. Please research properly before attempting this work it's dangerous, look for a professional to help, if that's the standard your putting the bar to before high level obedience training someone is going to get killed and kangals are amazing, we don't want to add them to the banned list because someone got killed by a poorly trained dog.
